Answer:

No, as this promotes resistance of certain microorganisms and opportunistic infections with frequent use.

Step-by-step explanation:

When being washed with antiseptic soaps, this generates the sweep of microorganisms from the commensal flora, giving rise to the reproduction and invasion of opportunistic microorganisms and, as a consequence, infections such as dermatitis.

On the other hand, these potentially pathogenic microorganisms, by proliferating and infecting and generating diseases, can acquire resistance methods against the repetitive contact of the antiseptics that these soaps present.
